Now other celebrities are accusing Spacey of inappropriately using his coming out as a distraction from the sexual misconduct allegations.

Kevin Spacey's apology to actor Anthony Rapp has unleashed a flood of negative reactions on Twitter. Spacey's decision to combine a coming-out statement with an apology to Rapp, who has accused him of sexual misconduct when Rapp was just 14, was slammed by observers who were shocked that Spacey took the opportunity to talk about his own sexuality in the midst of the accusation of underage sexual assault.
